SOMERSET — Do you want to have skin like a celebrity? Stephanie Roberts may be able to help you with that. At Stephanie's Skin Spa, Ms. Roberts provides Dermaculture that firms and tightens skin, keeping it looking young.

"The best way to describe it is it's an anti-aging treatment," Ms. Roberts said.

Dermaculture involves deep skin ionization and is the same procedure used after facials. With Dermaculture, a galvanic electrical current penetrates the skin tissue to tighten and lift it up, as opposed to rubbing something on the skin to make it look rejuvenated. Ms. Roberts, who is a licensed aesthetician, learned Dermaculture from a plastic surgeon.

Ms. Roberts said Dermaculture increases a person's natural colligens and also kills all of the bacteria on skin.

Ms. Roberts said she can get the same type of results with Dermaculture as people can get with Botox or other invasive skin treatment. She said people can see a difference after one treatment, but said it is recommended that a person do the Dermaculture treatments for four to six weeks.

"It's long-lasting results," Ms. Roberts said. "It's fantastic for skin problems, like acne."

Ms. Roberts said the latest trend is ultrasonic facials, which she said is fantastic for H spots, sun spots, evening out the skin tone and firming the skin. She said it is very effective for anti-aging. She said ultrasonic facials are done with the same frequency used for ultra sounds to tell the gender of an unborn baby. A metal wand that vibrates is used to remove all dead cells on the skin.

WHY  HAVING  PROFESSIONAL  FACIALS  ARE  SO  IMPORTANT
Anyone for a facial? 
Facials are important to the maintenance of you skin health for several reasons, here are some:
 
1. Your skin is the largest organ  on your body, keeping it professionally cleansed, stimulated and rejuvenated helps maintain overall health. Also, Estheticans are trained to detect any hints of skin cancer with there specialized magnified lamps or Woods Lamps.  ESTHETICIANS  CAN  SEE  THINGS  WITH  THESE  PROFESSIONAL  TOOLS  THAT  CANNOT  BE  SEEN  WITH  OUT   THEM.
 
2. A professional Esthetician will perform  extractions, this is great to remove all those stubborn blackheads, which are basically oxidized oil that has hardened in the pore. you want to get them out often because if they stay too long your pore like the rest of your skin could loose elasticity and become much larger.
 
  • Skin is dynamic and changes constantly. Weather, medication,age, pollution, hormones, stress: these can all cause quick and intense changes. Most people cannot use the same cleanser and moisturizer the whole year, much less their entire life.  Going for regular facials allows you and your Esthetician to work together and support your skin as goes through all of this.
    •  
    3.  ANTI- AGING  FACIALS such as  Ultrasonic / Ultrasound facials firm and lift the skin with out toxic chemical injections. This amazing machine irons out wrinkles ,plumps up skin , hydrates dry skin.  Long lasting anti- aging results. YOU CAN  ALWAYS  TELL  A PERSON  WHO HAS  REGULAR  ANTI AGING  FACIALS, THEIR  SKIN  IS  MUCH  FIRMER,  MORE RADIANT  THAN  OTHERS.
     
    4. EVEN  OUT  YOUR  SKIN  TONE.  Some facials specialize in evening out the skin tone. Sun damage is very common, the damaging sun  can create " sun spots ", dark spots that stand out. Professional glycolic peels is great for fading out the sun spots. There is also a professional cream/ gel that is applied to this one  darkened area  to fade out the spots.  
     
  • Intensify results. They have access to stronger and more active ingredients. While home care is great and very important, going for a  deep down exfoliation and hydration treatment can make a difference you would never see with home care alone.
  • Relaxation. For a lot of people this is the only reason they come in. They want time for themselves. Relax and let someone else worry about you for an hour. Most professional facials include a massage of the face, neck , shoulders and scalp .
